What are people’s favourite first person single player campaigns, no third person games??
IMHO Titanfall 2 has one of the best campaigns for a SP FPS.
I completely agree. Titanfall 2 is one of my favorite single player FPS games.
I have it, I started it for maybe an hour, I have no idea how the rest of it is.
There’s nothing stopping me from downloading it again and continuing the campaign.
You definitely own it to yourself to finish it! Now this comes down to personal opinion, but IMHO the campaign falls into the perfect “sweet spot” of length: ~6 hours.
I started downloading Titalfall 2 right now to continue playing it, I will try it tomorrow, are you happy you bum?
I’m only giving you a hard time, but seriously it’s downloading right now
The newer Wolfenstein games (new order and new colossus) are both great. Totally crazy alternate history plus you get to shoot nazis. I really hope they end up making a third one.
I have the New Order and Old Blood combo on GOG. I played a cracked version Colossus and got bored with it. I missed somethibg 4 or 6 levels back and got stuck, I couldn’t continue on, so I gave up and quit playing.
Strongly agreed. The setting is very neat, too. The whole idea is 60s style pop sci fi… Except the villains are in charge.
Personally I’d suggest avoiding Old Blood. It’s inferior in basically every way (story, setting, gameplay). Feels nothing like the two you mentioned.
Really? I agree that Old Blood wasn’t as good as the main games but I definitely enjoyed it as an add-on to New Order. I suppose it does go a bit off the rails with the Zombie stuff lol
Dishonored, all parts. It’s just a great story, well written characters and absolutely fun to play. One of the very few games I never felt bored, annoyed or frustrated of.
I enjoyed Dishonored so much I went for the clean hands achievement to make myself feel like a real stealth professional. Second one I went all chaos. The abilities are so fun to chain together in the game.
Is the bulk of the gameplay done with a sword?
No you got some more tools and weapons, including a crossbow and a pistol.
Another for Dishonored! The aesthetic and everything about the games are just fantastic
Titanfall 2’s single player campaign is fantastic.
I’m downloading it now. I already own it but I never finished it
its genuinely one of the best fps out there. it kinda has no right to be so good
It’s hard to beat the classic Half Life 2.
While it’s outshined by a lot of more modern FPS games, it’s still one of the most beautiful and fleshed out videogames in history.One of my favorite game series is the Crysis series. I absolutely love the story, the music, and the visuals. It scores super high on the sci-fi list for me. Crysis 3 is my favorite one of the bunch. I’m still eagerly waiting for any further news on Crysis 4.
There are several aspects to Crysis gameplay I like, the sci-fi part of it makes me lose interest.
Cloak engaged
Comments you can hear
Gotta be Cyberpunk 2077 right now, for me at least. The stories are engaging, the choices you make will actually affect the game, there’s so much combat variation that you can replay the game a million times and have a different style every single time, and to top it all off the eye candy is the best I’ve seen in any game so far.
Why do I only see people talking about the graphics but either never mention gameplay or say it’s too mundane or dull and not worth the hours to get through it?
I see it a lot used as a benchmark but no or very little mention of replay value.
Personally, I adored the gameplay. I put maybe 60 hours in and still had the energy to start a second playthrough (though never got far in it). That’s rare for me with such long games. Usually by the time I finish the game, I’m like “yup, I’ve had enough”. The story is fantastic and the gameplay is super open. Can go in guns a blazing (with all sorts of weapons, including “smart guns” with target seeking bullets), be stealthy, slow time and get up close and personal, keep your distance and use hacks that can even spread from enemy to enemy, and more. The romantic interests are great and also feel realistic. The plot is dark and doesn’t shy away from what I envision a dystopian sci-fi reality being like.
And yeah, it is a beautiful world, too. I found it highly immersive because of that.
It’s not perfect. Civilian, police, and driving AI is by far its weakest point. The world feels vibrant and interesting, but don’t expect much from civilian interactions, drivers are basically on rails, and police teleport to you. But those issues were fairly minor to me. I’d give it a 9/10. Obligatory mention that I played on PC. I’ve heard older consoles were buggy, but I didn’t see much for bugs on PC.
(Typing this up made me wanna play it again, but I gotta wait for the DLC.)
i think its because the gameplay is the weakest point. tho cdpr has been constantly trying to make it better
ive beaten it like 3 times at this point so its not like its bad but the world they built, broken as it may be (but they are fixing it), is just so slick and great to just exist in.
gameplay is still real fun, but you still around for Silverhand and all the other side quests imo
Halflife was revolutionary when it was released. I’ve recently been playing through Black Mesa, which is a remake in the Source engine, with some parts changed or extended, and it;s absolutely excellent
Before that, Doom and Doom][ were the best FPSs. The 2016 remake does somehow manage to recapture some of the magic but the originals will always hold a special place in my heard
I agree on Doom and Doom 2. Sheer fun! I will say though that Doom 2016 didn’t capture the original magic for me personally - it just felt too… formulaic?
Also, far too much emphasis on platforming.
Doom 2016 is certainly not the same, but it does keep the same feeling of fast and frenetic hyperviolence that you need to be right in the middle of, with minimal reliance on plot
I tried one of the Half Life games for about an hour, and the sci-fi aspect killed my interest with different creatures. I didn’t care about what happened in the story.
I played a good amount of Doom reboot but I never finished it. It’s a decent game. I can’t get into being on Mars fighting random creatures, but that’s only my thing, I don’t have any criticisms. I heard the second one is excellent but I have not bothered with it.
If you dislike sci fi then yeah, sci fi games are not gonna do it for you!
OuterWilds. It’s a masterpiece.
Because it’s progression system/locks is about what you know (you, the flesh and blood person playing it) it’s really hard to explain why it’s so good without spoiling some aspect of the game
Outer Wilds is indeed a masterpiece. It’s not really what I would call a “shooter”, though, so it might not be what OP’s after, it’s more like Myst and so on. But it is absolutely excellent.
Wow. I completely missed the title….
Oh damn I didn’t even consider this!
Outer Wilds is probably my choice too
I’m assuming you’re looking for emphasis on shooters, so I’m excluding games like Fallout, which are heavily RPG.
All the Metro games are fantastic. Not too long, interesting setting, and fun gameplay.
Far Cry is probably my favourite, specifically Far Cry 5 but really all except the first one (New Dawn is super RPGy and 6 is a fair bit, too). Some of its games get a bit more RPG heavy, but 5 and earlier are more heavily shooters in open world sandboxes. Despite that, some of them have really great character driven stories. The villains are always the highlight in this series.
You are correct aboutemphasis on shooters. I can’t get into sci-fi and RPG for me feel like a way to fill time without actual new gameplay happening.
I really don’t like walking around tying to find random items, in my opinion it’s too much of nothing
I have the Metro games, I’ve played each for several hours but never finished any of them.
I’m interested in Far Cry 6 but I’ve also seen strong criticisms of the gameplay so I don’t know if it’s worth buying.
Hard to beat DUSK :)
CULTIC is damn good too.
Cultic looks alright, I have a hard time with the low end graphics, but that’s my personal preferance.
Personally, the worse a game looks the more I like it. Cruelty Squad looks awesome.
There’s something about crude graphics that appeals to you, alright, I get that.
The fancy graphics today is very uneccassary for quality gameplay, but I also can’t play 90’s games anymore due to the pixelation.
I wish id Software would do a full 1 for 1 remake of the original Doom and sell for $20. No changes, nothing added or removed, keep all of the same measurements and dimensions of every area, every room, identical colours, same game functionalities, but in a new game engine with 4K textures.
I wonder if that would wreck it or be an instant success.
There’s been a million fan made upscales and they all look terrible, in a bad way, but you seem like the sort of person who would like them.
Has there been remakes made? I thought those were only replicas and ports. I would like to see it if there have bedn true to life remakes.
Am I wrong to say that I think id Software would do the best remake from their original source?
Old, but System Shock 2, an immersive sim.
E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy is definitely one of my favourites.
I’m watching game play of it, it seems to be a bit different. Does it have lower end hardware requirements, based on how the graphics looks?
It’s a pretty old Source Engine game. Can run on a potato PC.

EYE is on a pretty solid sale on GOG right now. I might pick that up.
I always find myself going back to Borderlands 2. It’s just very nostalgic to me at this point and I find a lot of replay value out of it.
I got each of the Boarderlands games from the free Epic giveways but I have never played thfough them. I will try them
Halo 3 ODST. Uses Halo 3’s engine, so it has the same incredible physics as it, with great vibes to it as well.
